Airaid CAI or wait? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

RickyTheStorm · 06-22-2009, 07:38 PM

I was wondering if Airaid is a very good CAI system or if I should wait for one of the others to come out. I have always been a K&N man myself, but really would like to get a system on here soon so when flowmaster is done their cat-back kit (about 2-3 more weeks) I will have proper air-flow when installed.

I've always been a K&N guy myself, I was a Senior Tech there for a few years!

Airaid makes great products as well. Either way these would be my first picks!

I am going with the Roto-Fab, we tested it last week, and it fit perfect and definetly made a difference.

I'll be wait for K&N myself.

There isnt a price out to the public yet, but there will be in a week or so. I will be setting up a big group buy for it once it is ready VERY soon. It will be very similar to the competitors out there like LMR and Hennessy.

What is this system all about? I've never heard of Roto-Fab? Who's filter do they use and/or type?

JDP Motorsports · 06-22-2009, 11:21 PM

This is the G8 set-up. Looks like it uses a K&N type filter and depending on the manufacture that can be good and bad. Looks nice though.

IMO - unless you're looking for a "Ram Air"-type system, you should probably go with the CAI that fits your taste and budget. I think, for the most part, you're going to get very similar gains with these systems; it might make a small difference depending on metal vs. plastic but go with what you think looks good and fits your budget. It seems like all of the systems we've seen here so far look and perform really well, so I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Good Point.

I don't think the butt dyno could tell any difference between any of the CAI options.

This is what the Roto-Fab will look like in the Polished Finish....Of course the boots will not be yellow it was designed on a yellow car!
Here it is being tested on my car:
